the beginning of a lovely evening.
last night we visited Caleb and Micah's family and went to the park with them. it was soo much fun, just hanging out in the beautiful evening light and playing basketball, talking to the little kids and playing with them.

Justus bought a new bike with his birfday money. He is proud of it :) He likes silly bandz.

DAWWW. I'm finally getting Joshua to warm up to me juuust a little bit. He's soo cute and shy.

I played with him, rolling and throwing a ball around with him. the little dude's got some flexibility, haha.

the traveling circus, haha.

*cough cough* Joshua and Kayley might have a small crush on each other... they kept hugging and petting each other on the head, hahahaha.

helping Megan blow the grass whistles.

She didn't really get it, haha..but it provided Samantha some much needed laughter, lols. (needed because I scared the willies out of her earlier that day and shaved about two years off of her life... hahaha)

Jadon showing the kids how to use the bow and arrows.

Sylvia and Purrbucket.

This moth was so pretty! It had these bright pink stripes on its wings and these amazing antennae!

pudgy white hands.

 Me, at the dinner table: "SLOW CHEWLY!!! 

....What have you guys done to my mind?!?!"

"The Virgin Mary shows up to Constantine in a dream and says, "Um, Nicolas was right. He's my boy. You let him go, or else." 

"If this was a live class, I'd tell you that every time I say Athanasius, you have to say, "Whoohoo!""

"Arias probably made up little ditties to help people remember: "There was a time when Christ was not, my name is Arias and I'm pretty hot.""

"I'm beating my chest like a Christian." 

"There's a story that Nicolas so fed up with Arias's shenanigans, got tired of debating with words, and just stood up and decked him. Punched his lights out. Gives a whole new meaning to 'Santa Claus is coming to town, so you'd better watch out!' He's gonna find out who's orthodox and heretic."

"Mr. C, you are never sorry about your sidetracks, nor should you be, so just stop apologizing." -Zachary

"I'm going to take the opportunity that Zachary just offered me, and though he opened a small door, I'm going to drive a Mack truck through it."

"Imagine you are, you know...you."

"Hortensius had a daughter that he homeschooled, named Hortensia...some called her Horty, others called her Tense. When she was mad. The guys she broke up with called her "Sia." (C-ya) Get it?"

(From Augustine's pear stealing past) "You could call it pear pressure'. Ahahahaha"
"Wasn't expecting to be pun-ished in that way, dad. I pear-ished inside." George

"Skinny jeans on Metrosexual worship leaders.NOO. Just...wear overalls. Or a robe!
Jackets and slacks....you know, comb your hair..no?...ooohkay."

"So why do you guys have a different picture on the front of your book? Penguin upgraded? Darn their hides."

"How easy would it be to jump around in the Bible with a scroll? It's like 'wait, lemme unroll the right side while I roll up the left side!' Church would be chaos. Christians flip!"

So, I got a little mixed up on my numbers.. but they're all straightened out now. Levi is so funny. =)
Laughed Until We Cried.
I love this song =) Especially the last verse. It makes me feel sentimental, something that doesn't happen often.

Last night I was sitting in front of the fire with Micah, and I asked him, "What do you have to say?" He looked guilty and said, "Excuse me?" =P

Still fighting off the bug that's got me by the throat. *gagagaaaacchc* Today mom told me, "I literally do not know what I would do without this fireplace." And I agree. I have barely read any in Herodotus yet, so I need to get going with that.
